Services & Pricing
What services do you offer?
We offer full-service property management, tenant placement services, and short-term rental management throughout the Roaring Fork Valley. Our services include marketing and leasing, tenant screening, rent collection, maintenance coordination, property inspections, financial reporting, lease administration, and guest management for vacation rentals.

How are your fees structured?
Our pricing depends on the type of service you need. For full-service property management, we charge a monthly management fee based on collected rent. For tenant placement services, we charge a one-time leasing fee to market the property, screen applicants, prepare the lease, and coordinate move-in. Short-term rental management services are priced separately based on the level of support required. We believe in transparent pricing with no hidden fees and are happy to provide a customized quote based on your property and goals.
Do you charge a leasing or tenant placement fee?
Yes, we charge a tenant placement fee for leasing services. This covers marketing, showings, screening, lease preparation, inspections and move-in coordination.
Are there any additional or annual fees?
We keep our pricing simple and avoid unnecessary fees. Any additional costs (like leasing or specific services) are clearly discussed upfront—no surprises.
Tenant Placement & Screening
How do you screen tenants?
We use a thorough screening process that includes:
- Credit history review
- Background and eviction checks
- Rental history verification
- Income and employment verification
Our goal is to place qualified tenants who will take care of your property and pay on time.
How do you determine the rental price?
We analyze current market conditions, comparable properties, and local demand to price your property competitively—maximizing your income while minimizing vacancy.
Rent Collection & Financials
How is rent collected?
Rent is collected electronically through a secure online portal, making it easy for tenants to pay and ensuring consistent, on-time payments.
When do I receive my rental income?
Owner distributions are made via direct deposit (ACH) each month, along with a detailed financial statement.
What kind of reporting do I receive?
You’ll have access to an owner portal with:
- Rent rolls
- Tenant statements
- Liability tracking (security deposits)
- Income and expense tracking
- Maintenance records
- Year-end reports for taxes
Maintenance & Repairs
How are maintenance requests handled?
Tenants submit maintenance requests through an online portal. We coordinate repairs using trusted local vendors and keep you informed throughout the process. We also have a 24/7 maintenance and emergency hotline.
Do you have a spending limit for repairs?
Yes—our standard approval limit is $500, but this is fully customizable based on your preferences. We review this with you during onboarding.
Do you charge extra for coordinating repairs?
No—we coordinate maintenance as part of our service. Our goal is to protect your property and keep tenants satisfied without nickel-and-diming you. We do not mark up any vendor invoices.
Property Oversight

Lease Management & Issues
How do you handle lease violations or evictions?
We follow clear, legally compliant processes for addressing lease violations. If eviction becomes necessary, we coordinate the process with legal professionals and keep you informed every step of the way.

Do you adjust rent over time
Yes—we regularly evaluate market conditions and recommend rent adjustments to keep your property aligned with current market rates.
Can you help increase my property’s income?
